In today’s large consumer brands, software developers actively support the needs of every major player in the C-Suite with the development and maintenance of large enterprise platforms in the categories of ERP, CRM, BI, and SCM, with one glaring omission, the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). For years, marketing department leads have struggled with a lack of resources and tools. They’ve had to use cobbled-together systems, siloed platforms, and spreadsheets, rather than automating trade marketing operations.

Trade marketers working in the intersection of digital and brick-and-mortar markets feel this lack of efficiency the most.

Fortunately, this is now the way of the past. Welcome to ‘Trade Marketing Automation’ (TMA).
